ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Aug 6, 2013) - QASymphony (www.qasymphony.com), a leading developer of Quality Management solutions for software developers and QA testers, today announced the release of a comprehensive connector for JIRA Download Version 5 and higher to qTest, their enterprise test management solution. qTest provides a collaborative work environment for teams to manage requirements, design test cases, plan test execution, track defects, and generate status and quality-metrics reports.

"Recognizing the versatile nature of JIRA, QASymphony improved its qTest integration to accommodate JIRA's various applications. Our goal with this integration was to provide testers with the ability to manage the entire life cycle of a ticket from within qTest and JIRA."
